D: Word Document I: Infographic Creation

1

I: Create an infographic and save with the name ComputerPerson_I.pdf where

"I" stands for Infographic. (a) The name is in camelCase and is shortened from

the full assignment name. (b) A link to the online creation of the infographic

will not be accepted. (c) The person may be from the list or another that you

chose that has added to computer technology progress. The infographic is of

the person's work in technology, not a full bio.

2

I: The infographic contains your name in small letters (8 font) in the bottom

right hand corner. Your name should not detract from the infographic as this

is not a focal point

3

D: One pdf created from the word document that you create to answer the

questions in this rubric. (a) Name the document you create

ComputerPerson_Q.docx and answer all questions. "Q" stands for the

question document. (b) For upload to GaVS, save the document after

completion using Save As the name ComputerPerson_Q removing the .docx

and selecting the pdf as type of file. The pdf name will be

ComputerPerson_Q.pdf. Note the name is in camelCase and is shortened from

the full assignment name.

4

D: Your name, course name, teacher name, assignment name, and the

computer person's name, and the name of the software you used to build the

Infographic are on the top left corner of the document, each on their own line.

5 I: The infographic is one page only, not a slide show and does not look like a

slide show. More of a collage feel with multiple images on the page.

6

I: The infographic is visual using many images (minimum 3 - 5) to create

interest in the computer person allowing for viewer interpretation

(information is shown through images with few words - a caption as needed).

Images are illustrations of at least some of the key points of the questions and

the person's life working with computers. For example an illustration of the

purpose, function, benefit, etc.

7 I: The infographic contains a short title in some form to highlight computer

person's accomplishment.

8

I: All images are cited with unique IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic

Engineering) reference numbers (different from the document IEEE numbers

used to cite information found in your question source answers). (a) IEEE

numbers should not detract from the infographic, these are not a focal point.

So use 8 - 10 point font. (b) Remember you are not the expert.

9

I: Captions are in use (3 - 8 word phrases) as needed. (a) Words are kept to a

minimum on the infographic using images as much as possible for

interpretation of the topic. (b) No paragraphs or sentences. These belong in

the word document only.

10 D: Appropriate grammar, sentence structure, capital letters and spelling are in

use in the infographic and document.

11

D: Question document answers the questions posed using (a) the rubric

number for all questions prior to their answer. (b) the stem of the question to

guide the reader to the computer person's information. (c) For example: R12.

The purpose is … or … is the purpose, etc. R12. with at least one space after is

part a, the rubric number, and part b is the use of the word purpose in the

answer. The stem word of the question was purpose.

12

D: Describe the purpose (what did the user gain because of this person's work)

of the Computer Person that brought them to the world's attention as shown

in your infographic. What end result did the person provide through their

efforts for users?

13

D: Describe the function (the workings) of computer person's innovation work

for the user. How does a user use the innovation to achieve the purpose of the

innovation?

14

D: Describe what you meant the overall visual infographic to portray to the

reader and what each of the images portray. Use the IEEE citation numbers to

identify the image you are discussing.

15

D: What is at least one beneficial effect of the Computer Person's innovation

on society, culture, or the economy and why? One or more of the stem words

society, culture or economy must be used in your answer.

16

D: What is at least one harmful effect of the Computer Person's innovation for

society, culture, or the economy and why? One or more of the stem words

society, culture or economy must be used in your answer.

17

D: Why did you chose this person? What attracted you to using this person?

Explain some of the biographical detail of the person in a few paragraphs.

Paragraphs consist of 5 quality sentences minimum.

18

D: What did you do to create the infographic? (a) Name the software tool that

you used (b) Name the functions / methods, (internal tools within the

infographic tool builder) that you used to build the infographic and how did

you use them? Ex: insert, upload, copy, paste, etc. and explain how they were

used.

19 D: Reference page is a new page after the question answers with a title of

References.

20 D: Two sections are provided on the References page: Image Citations and

Works Cited.

21

D: Question answers contain at least 3 MLA references from different sources

that will be cited noted in the document with a unique IEEE number just prior

to the period of the sentence in ( ) or []. (a) The same IEEE number from the

document reference could be used on the infographic for word(s) cited (not an

image). (b) Cited does not mean must be quoted, the information may be

paraphrased. (c) A word citation on the infographic does not count towards the

3 required in the question answers.

22

D: IEEE numbering does not contain the same numbers in the Works Cited

section and the Image Citations section as these are different types of

citations. Example: If the Image Citations use the numbers 1 - 5, then the

Works Cited would start with the number 6 upwards.

23

D: Images use Direct URL's to the image (no words are on the page only the

image) vs the works cited uses the URL to the page the information was found

on.

24 D: All citations (document and image) contain the URL (hotlinked) and the date

accessed, mm/dd/yy for each IEEE number present on the Reference page.

25 D: All citations in the Works Cited or Image Citations sections are in numerical

IEEE order.
